As either a user or a dev....
A timeshare system at a university in the late-70s. (Actually doesn't count. My older sister logged in and let me play Star Trek on it.)
A Model I TRS-80 (actually wasn't allowed to touch it but it was demonstrated for us).
Commodore CBM and PET (4016 era).
Model III TRS-80, TRSDOS, RAM, Cassette, and Floppy varieties. Several versions. We had a network with a networked 5MB hard drive system in High School.
Model III TRS-80, LDOS and NEWDOS
Dumb terminals of different flavors... yeah I'll count a boot-to-VT100 as an OS even though I shouldn't.
Radio Shack Pocket Computer PC-2 and PC-4. With color "plotter".
MS-DOS... can't remember the flavor numbers but I think in the 3's starting up through 6.
Windows 3.1, (then later 95, 98, ME, XP, 7, 8, 10.)
Mac SE (student operator at a Mac Lab in college. Used them, too. I also worked in the IBM lab and the central terminal room but never used the CMS/VMS/VAX terminals - just cut printer output for users). Got to see a Cray-1 up close too on a tour.
Apple Newton OS
Palm OS
iOS
Several flavors of Linux.
Raspberry Pi - should count it as Linux but instead I'll say that it was its own beast.
Do I get to count programmable HP Calcs that I wrote programs for? (15C, 28C, 48s, 50g, and I want a hardware Prime so bad I can taste it. My friend had a 41CX and I was so jealous because my 28C was stolen and it took awhile for me to get the 48s.)
